RECENT WORK AND MUSINGS

I'm often asked where I get my inspiration from, or what drove me into photography. I have to say, that my love for photography is simple. To document life.

Today I took a day-trip out to Death Valley with my good friend Amy.

BEHIND THE LENS
I believe in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments.
I believe in creating images that demand to be printed—framed in fine art materials and displayed as the heirlooms they're meant to become. My approach is both editorial and intimate, capturing not just faces but the emotional landscape of your life. Each portrait is thoughtfully composed to reveal your authentic story while honoring the beauty of the world around you. Your journey is extraordinary and entirely your own, and I'm here to preserve it with the artistry it deserves.
